Virgin Media V+ box disable hdmi reset scart

Last night I moved my V+ box from the living room to the bedroom.

I assumed that the box would detect that there was no HDMI connection and fallback to a scart output.  I was wrong.

A quick google (15 minutes worth actually) led me to a page that gave me instructions how to do it:

On the V+ box press simultaneously Play and Fast Forward, hold them down and press reset.

Release the reset button but continue to hold the Play and Fast Forward buttons for approximately 40 seconds.

The word “output” will come up on the LCD, use the left and right buttons on the box to select “SP” and press OK

After a short time the box will reset and you will have the output set to scart.

      Check on the back of the box, I will see what I (and everyone else watching this blog) can do.

      Please give us the manufacturer, and model number.

      Best regards
